Wanna see something C-R-A-Z-Y?

Tyler and Meagan were asked by this fantastic photographer to do a photo shoot about a year and a half ago. They signed releases for the photographer to sell the images as stock photography in exchange for getting to keep all the images for their personal use. Well.... these images have sold tens of thousands of times, and now we see them in product packaging, on websites, everywhere. I have to admit that this DVD cover takes the cake, though. It is pretty weird to see my brother's body connected to the head of someone famous!

The good thing is that they really have been compensated for this in a way- they got several thousand dollars worth of wedding and engagement photography free for signing the releases, and this is the arrangement they agreed to, so it's really all fair. I do think the photographer has made a KILLING off of these photos, so I'm happy for her about that! I think if they do any more of these shoots, Tyler and Meagan may see if they can renegotiate. Pretty wild!
